I'm pleased Trevor Alford took the time to read Labour’s latest Portslade News (Letters September 8).

His subsequent comments though are, fortunately, not shared by the vast majority of folk we speak to in South and North Portslade.

Residents are pleased to receive the newsletter and are glad that we are ‘telling it as we see it’ with a genuine campaigning edge.

Local people also clearly appreciate the time, effort and commitment that goes into writing and delivering this for the 8,000+ homes in Portslade.

Far from being disillusioned as the letter suggests, Portslade is glad that someone is speaking out and up for it.
